Look Inside…Portrait Artist Christian Hook’s Chelsea Home

Dreaming about nabbing a property in Chelsea? This stunning apartment on Beaufort Street is the former home of Christian Hook, winner of Sky Arts’ Portrait Artist of the Year. Hook has painted a string of famous faces including Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Kristen Scott Thomas and Sir Richard Branson – and the second bedroom of this Chelsea property served as his studio.

Stepping inside the top floor, loft-style apartment, you’ll find yourself in a sprawling living/dining room with rustic wooden floorboards, built-in storage, exposed beams and huge windows. From here, you can head into the kitchen, which is finished with sleek aluminium worktops.

Both of the two bedrooms offer more built-in cupboards and plenty of natural light. The first is currently set up as the principal bedroom, and the second was used as Hook’s studio and study space. Meanwhile, the apartment’s large family bathroom boasts chic white tiles and a rather magnificent freestanding bathtub. 

Claire Mengham, Sales Manager at Knight Frank’s Chelsea office, says of the apartment: ‘Nestled between the iconic King’s Road and scenic Cheyne Walk, this property sits on a tree-lined street dotted with period buildings, offering excellent transport links to areas like Sloane Square, Victoria or across the river and beyond. This Chelsea location combines style, convenience, and investment potential in one desirable package.’

Think Chelsea chic with plenty of creative flair – you’d expect nothing less from an A List-approved artist.

Christian Hook’s home is available through Knight Frank at a guide price of £850,000. For more information, visit knightfrank.co.uk
